We had a great stay at this OBX rental! The location was perfect—just a short walk or bike ride to the pools and beach, which made it super convenient with kids. The home was stocked with bikes and games that kept everyone entertained, and there was plenty to do nearby from shops to great restaurants and family-friendly activities. The kids also enjoyed the on-site pool. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again!

We had 3 generations together for a week from NC, NY & MN! We had plenty of room for 12 people & enjoyed all of the amenities. The pool & bikes were at the top of the favorites list. It is a great location with easy access to all the attactions OBX has to offer! We recommend the Silver Charters for a fishing trip (kid friendly & what a catch!) & Bob's Wild Horse Tour, the best narrative & viewing of the horses!

Reuniting with OBX!

We had a wonderful week at OBX Star. It was steps away from the sound as well as the beach. The amenities, we used the fitness center almost daily, were great. We were a few minutes' drive from shopping, and biking around the area was easy too. We were avid OBX vacationers since 2004 but hadn't been to OBX since 2017. It was great to come back and share new memories with family at OBX Star!

Convenient location for Corolla activities

The house is in a great location, close to the sound, beach, the Lighthouse, shops and restaurants. Car traffic is noticeable at times on the side of the house that faces the main road. The interior of the house is a little dated, but has all the basic amenities and was very clean. The property management staff was super friendly and responsive during our stay. Overall, plenty of room for a family to enjoy everything that the Outer Banks offers.

We enjoyed the space of the house and the furnishings. Resort was wonderful with all activities. Kitchen could have used some pasta dishes, spare propane tank for the grill. We ran out and had to buy propane bc property management was closed. Two mattresses on middle level need replacing, not the master. None of these were major and management responded quickly. We really liked the house and pool. We were not prepared for all the traffic so we had to leave a day early. Took us 3 hours to get onto the island. All in all we had a wonderful vacation.

So great to hear you all had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the space and furnishings of the house as well as the resort amenities! And thank you for your feedback - we'll take a look at the mattresses, but all are new Serta Perfect Sleepers within the last few years. Re getting to the island during peak season: We encourage our guests to arrive in the morning if possible and pick up their amenity package at the Corolla Light office, have some lunch, and take advantage of the resort amenities and beach access until check-in time at 4:00pm. Again, not always possible but if so it is well worth doing! Thank you again for choosing OBX Star for your Outer Banks vacation and we would love to host you again in the future!

OBX Star

So happy we finally made it to the OBX. We had a great time with our kids & their spouses.The house certainly met all of our needs. The house had both a high chair & pack n play which really helped out. Less things to bring with us. We took advantage of the kayaks & bikes that were provided. The pool was a nice thing to come home to after a day at the beach. It provided us with another place to hang out with everyone. Definitely something we would consider doing again in the future.

OBX Star Delight

The property is gorgeous, we all loved the house. Cleaning people do need to step up a little more as sliding door tracks and light fixtures are dirty and full of cobwebs.

The house was perfect for our family. Very spacious with plenty of room for a large group. The house is in need a deep clean though. There were dead insects on the window sills and cob webs on light fixtures. The sliding doors were difficult to open/close due to the dirt build-up.

We are glad the property management company promptly addressed the small issues you noted above. Unfortunately - as as everyone in the south knows - it only takes someone to leave a door or window for a few minutes at night to attract insects. It is for instances such as this why we tell all guests to reach out if anything is not to their satisfaction! So happy you found the home spacious and perfect for your family, and would look forward to hosting you again on a future OBX vacation. All the best! Regards, Vaughn

Great place to stay

Communication with the property manager and the owner was great. We were missing a couple linens, and despite a late check-in, we were taken care of right away. Location was excellent, house was spacious and clean, and everything we needed was conveniently located (grocery, etc.). The only caution I have is to bring EVERYTHING you need. Things like hand soap, salt, pepper, etc. that are often available are not included. No big deal, but helpful to know ahead of time.

Amazing Community

I cannot recommend Corolla Light Resort enough! This house is conveniently located very close to a trolley stop, which made getting our group of 10 to and from the beach a breeze! There was a bit of confusion with check-in and accessing the house but that was no fault of Vaughn. The middle level queen desperately needs a new mattress but all other rooms were great. The main living area and kitchen were very open and spacious. This was our first experience on the sound side and we will never look back.

Great rental

The property was exactly as described. Check in was a breeze and communication with the owner and the rental company was excellent. We discovered a broken sliding door on the day we arrived. I contacted the owner and he responded immediately. Someone came and fixed it the next day. The house is very roomy and we found basically everything we needed in the kitchen for making meals. Nice location between the sound and the ocean. Corolla Light Resort was very nice and the owner includes the use of all the amenities as part of the rental.

Great property, excellent location and awesome owner!

We just stayed at Vaughn's home in Corolla for the past week, with four families staying there, ages 9 to 81, and loved it. Not only is the community (Corolla Light) amazing with excellent amenities, but the location of the house with lots of great spots to walk to for shopping, good eats, and the historic Corolla Park which was a great spot for a walk or run. The house was great, with more than enough room and a nice pool and hot tub which our kids used daily. The owner was excellent. A great communicator and extremely welcoming. He took care of us when a little hiccup occurred that was out of our control, and we appreciated it, even getting us some drinks at the fabulous Oceanfront Grille across the street. We book quite a few rentals across the US and Vaughn has to be one of the best we have ever rented from. Thank you for sharing your amazing beach house with us! I would recommend this property and would love to visit again!

Beach house in Corolla

The house is located in a wonderful spot, close to the beach and the bay. The men enjoyed fishing off a pier on the sound side. Unfortunately the weather was not the best. We had drizzle the whole week. We would stay again as everyone had their own room. The master bedroom on the top floor had a comfortable bed, the other rooms not so much. We did have a problem with the ice maker not working. The office was notified they came & replaced it as the previous renters complained. Once replaced, ice did not come out as it should. We did buy ice plus notified the office of the problem. All and all we did enjoy our stay.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to submit a review and for choosing OBX Star for your Outer Banks vacation. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you would stay with us again - please reach out to us anytime with your plans to return! Regarding the ice maker - we regret any inconvenience this may have caused and are glad that the property management company was able to quickly replace it (note we had them come back to the house to check on the new ice maker and it was working, so perhaps it just needed to run through a few cycles before working properly). Regarding the beds - all mattresses (with the exception of the twin mattresses in the kids bunk room) were replaced between 2021-2023 with medium/firm Serta Perfect Sleeper mattresses. We chose these mattresses due to their quality construction (e.g., individually wrapped coils, three layers of gel foam (3 inches total), breathability, edge control, etc.) and ability to accommodate the widest range of our guests' comfort preferences. We do however understand there may be guests whose preferences do not fall within this range. Again, thank you for taking the time to submit a review and for staying with us at the beach. All the best and we hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future! Regards, Vaughn

Great Location, Terrible Cleaning Company

We enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent, and the house was very spacious. The check in process was smooth. However, the house was disgusting on arrival. It was obvious nothing was swept, there were roaches and spiders everywhere. Dirty dishes in the dishwasher, chicken bones in the kid's beds and food on the floor. The windowsills and doors were black with filth and dead bugs. The pillows were on a pile on the ground and the couches were filthy despite having slip covers that could have been washed. There was a vacuum cleaner, but it hardly worked. We spent the entire first night cleaning the house. I have photographs to back up everything I just wrote. Overall, a good experience, but I would hire a different cleaning service.

Hi Edward, I appreciate you taking the time this week for follow-up discussions re the above. In speaking with the property management company, I learned that the cleaning crew they assigned to the house was asked to help with a nearby “early check-in house” before completing a full clean, but that the cleaning crew was unable to return to the house by the end of the day to finish cleaning. While I am glad to hear that another cleaning crew was quicky sent out to the house after you called the property management company the next morning, there is no excuse for the full clean having not being completed upon your arrival. (As an aside: There is also no excuse for the condition in which the previous guests left the house. In addition to the general mess, it is apparent that doors and windows were not promptly closed at night, which as anyone from the south knows will let in bugs attracted to indoor lights.) As evidenced by our reviews, we take great pride in the fact that the condition of the home meets or exceeds our guests’ expectations. Unfortunately, there are rare instances such as this that are beyond our control, and this was truly unprecedented. Again, we are very disappointed that your initial experience was as described above, but happy to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay. We discussed the above with the property management company and they are taking additional steps to help avoid such instances in the future. While we understand that labor shortages are particularly prevalent on the Outer Banks, we expect much better so that we can deliver an incident-free, enjoyable experience for all of our guests. A note to future guests: All rental guests on the Outer Banks are encouraged to reach out to either the property owner or property management company with any issues encountered upon arrival. All property management companies on the Outer Banks have cleaning crews and maintenance technicians on standby on check-in days (Saturday and Sunday) so that they can immediately resolve any issues. Thank you again for your understanding and we would love the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future. Regards, Vaughn
